Crushed Gravel ordered online by the ton. A dump truck delivers to your Stigler address and unloads right where you point.





Crushed gravel is an angular, machine-crushed aggregate. It is often confused with crushed stone, but both are crushed and angular, not rounded. The difference is the source rock: crushed gravel comes from natural gravel deposits, while crushed stone comes from quarried bedrock. For most Stigler jobs, the two can be swapped, but crushed gravel tends to compact a bit tighter.
Stigler gets about 50 inches of precipitation a year. That means drainage and washout planning need to be part of your project from the start. Choosing the right crushed gravel size and base depth helps keep your surface in place.
Not every grade of crushed gravel works for every application. Knowing what each size does best and what it cannot do will save you from having to reorder halfway through the job. Below are the sizes we deliver to Stigler.
| Product | Best for | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 3/8" Crushed Gravel | Fine compacting layer for pavers and paths | Too fine for a driveway surface; it will rut under heavy traffic. |
| 3/4" Crushed Gravel | The workhorse size for base and drives | Not ideal as a top course on soft ground; go larger for the first lift. |
| 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Structural base under heavy loads | Does not work as a final wear surface; it needs a smaller cap. |
| 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | First lift over soft subgrade | Too large for a finished driveway; expect a rough ride. |
| 2"-3" Crushed Gravel | Mud control and deep fill | Not suitable for a walking surface or a shed pad; it stays loose. |
Think about the surface you are building and what the ground underneath is like. The table below matches typical Stigler projects to the crushed gravel size that works.
| Project | What to order | Depth or note |
|---|---|---|
| Trench backfill | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 12 inches compacted in lifts, depending on utility depth. |
| Soft or muddy subgrade | 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel | Start with 6 to 8 inches as a bridging layer. |
| Compacted base for pavement | 3/4" Crushed Gravel | 6 inches after compaction, on well-drained subgrade. |
| Shed or slab pad | 3/8" Crushed Gravel | 4 inches compacted; this size levels out cleanly. |
| Farm and site access road | 1" - 1 1/2" Crushed Gravel over 1 1/2" base | 8 to 12 inches total, larger rock on bottom. |
Stigler sees about 65 days a year with at least a tenth of an inch of rain. That many wet days means scheduling the delivery onto firm ground is important. A truck can rut a soft lawn if the ground is soaked.
About 72 days a year drop below 32F. The freeze-thaw cycle works on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. Ground freezing here is real but moderate, so the base layer needs to be deep enough to stay stable as the soil heaves and settles.
Soils mapped in the Stigler area are commonly moderately well drained. In practice, that means you may need more or less base stone under the surface layer depending on where exactly you are. The ground around Stigler takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. Drainage and a deeper base matter more here than in places with sandy soil. Plan for it and your crushed gravel surface will hold up for years.
Tonnage depends on the area you are covering and the depth you choose. A loose rule is that a ton of most crushed gravel covers about 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, but that varies by size and compaction. The best way to get a solid number is to use the material calculators on our site. Enter your dimensions and depth, and the calculator will tell you how many tons to order.

The delivery date must be at least 3 business days after the order date. You choose a window: morning from 7 am to 12 pm or afternoon from 12 pm to 5 pm. You will receive an email confirmation, then a second email closer to the date with the scheduled window and a photo of the material being loaded.

Crushed gravel pairs well with other bulk materials for a complete job. Consider adding any of the following:
The answer depends on your square footage and the depth you plan to lay. For a rough idea, a ton of 3/4" crushed gravel covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep. Stigler's freeze-thaw cycles mean you may want a deeper base than a warmer climate would need, so account for that. Use the material calculators on our site to get an accurate number.

Crushed gravel is not a good choice for a finished walking surface if you need something smooth and dust-free. The larger sizes, like 2" to 3", are too rough for patios or pathways. It also does not work as a weed barrier on its own; you need a fabric layer underneath.
